This potato pan goes well on every holiday or other family gathering. They are a nice change from mashed potatoes that are often typical on holidays. These cheap potatoes are great with grilled steaks or pork chops as well.

Ingredients:

8 medium-sized white potatoes

1 tablespoon of flour

8 oz cream cheese

½ cup of heavy whipped cream

½ pound of Cheddar Cheese, grated

Monterey Jack Cheese of ¼ lb, grated

½ lb Velveeta cheese, diced

¼ cup onions, in thin slices

1-2 cloves of garlic, pressed

1 cup of butter, sliced ​​

½ tablespoon of salt

½ tablespoon white pepper

No-stick spray

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 ° C and brush the 13 “x9” pan with a non-stick coating (butter can also be used instead of the spray)

Peel and cut potatoes – about 1/4 “thick

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan; add flour to the melted butter and stir until the consistency is thick and smooth

Add heavy whipped cream to the butter / flour and stir to make a thick sauce; turn the burner on low

Add grated garlic cloves and ½ of the white pepper

Add ¼ cup of Cheddar Cheese and all remaining cheeses to the sauce, stir until melted

Layer ½ of the cut potatoes in a coated pan, sprinkle with ½ salt and ½ of the remaining white pepper

Top potatoes with ½ of the sliced ​​onions

Layer ½ of the sliced ​​butter on top of the onions

Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes / onions in the pan

Repeat the layers using remaining potatoes, onions, butter, salt and pepper; top with leftover cheese sauce

Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of Cheddar cheese over the frying pan

Cook for about 1 hour, until potatoes are soft

Check every 20 minutes and if grated cheese is too brown on top, cover the frying pan with aluminum foil.

The calories and fat in this dish can be reduced by the use of milk or evaporated milk instead of cream and the use of low-fat cheeses and low-fat butter. It is not recommended not to use cheese or butter products without grease, because the fat-free products do not melt as smoothly as products that contain some fat.

The cheese sauce can also be used to serve broccoli or other vegetables.

When serving this dish with a fried or grilled meat, it is recommended to accompany with a steamed green vegetable such as asparagus, broccoli or green beans to balance the rich taste of the potatoes.
